DETROIT - Just two days after refusing a government recall request, Chrysler has decided to do two other recalls.

The automaker will recall 409,000 Jeep Patriot and Compass small SUVs across the globe from the 2010 and 2012 model years to fix air bag and seat belt problems. It's also recalling 221,000 Jeep Wranglers worldwide from 2012 and 2013 to fix transmission fluid leaks.

Customers can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403.

On Tuesday, Chrysler refused a request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million vehicles, saying they are safe. The government says the 1993-2004 Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty models have fuel tanks that can leak and catch fire in rear-end collisions.

The company said it is still working with the agency to resolve the issue.
